Who misinterpreted this originally? I didn't see anyone who did. Who in the tech industry thought that Sinofsky was saying that you could run native x86 apps

- nextparadigms 15y agoMaybe not the people "in the tech industry", but a lot of people online did, thinking Windows tablets will be "real tablets" with full-fledged apps. If you look at the comments in that article, they still can't believe this is true. If you read the article it even says Microsoft contradicted Intel earlier this year when they said x86 apps won't run on the ARM-based Windows 8, saying Intel's statement is "misleading and inaccurate". But now everyone will realize that on tablets, Microsoft is starting from scratch, meaning they are behind even Honeycomb in app support, where besides the tablet-specialized apps, most other phone apps work, too, and scale up pretty well.
